Here is my last batch of photos from Intro.
For me, this is retro. It reminds me of the the sort of image one might have seen three years ago on the cover of a report by some hip consultancy on consumption patterns in trends of youth in China. I guess it is the short, dyed hair that does it, plus the slightly inscrutable confidence.
The singer Queen Sea Big Shark, she was just shot by renowned photographer Mario Testino for a profile likely to appear in the September issue of US Vogue. As you may have heard, there was an unprecedentedly huge delegation from that magazine in town last week interviewing, photographing, and generally making a footprint here in China. China is going to be one of the main themes for Vogue’s thickest issue of 2011.

Both days at Intro Music Festival were very sunny and warm. Everyone was out in their attention-grabbing shades.
Here is PR executive Tina at Wuhao, which may have the very most attractive setting of any concept shop in the world.
She studies fashion design here in Beijing.
He is a photographer who just graduated from university.
Okay, I realize it has taken me nearly two weeks to put up all the photos from Strawberry. This should be the last batch.
Just as solids – especially black – is the norm at fashion parties, polka dots, floral prints and other patterns predominate at music festivals.
But some just chose more patriotic patterns. Actually she had not considered the reference to the American flag until I mentioned it. Most commentators on Weibo also said that it would not have struck them though one mentioned that it is easier to draw inspiration from fashions of recent decades of America’s history than China’s. As I understand it, wearing the Chinese flag is not allowed.
I know it was over a week ago, but I still have a huge trove of un-posted Strawberry Festival photos that I think are quite interesting. The love of red was very evident on this occasion.
They are rather adorable.
